Wells-Barnett, representing the Chicago Defender, at Little Rock, into the arrest and conviction of the twelve farmers of Elaine, Ark., under death penalty for allied plots of war, it was learned that the approximate land owned by each condemned farmer averages twenty-five acres, with a bale of cotton to an acre. The sale of this cotton, according to Mrs. Barnett, gave the white farmers a theory upon which to start trouble. Wanted Better Prices The market price of cotton in Arkansas at the time of the riot was 45 cents per pound, whereas the white farmers averaged 50 cents per pound give farmers o our Race 24 cents per pound. When this fact was given our farmers they protested at the injustice in price, and called a meeting in the event to establish better relationship regarding the prices. When the news reached the white farmers the riot situation was way up, the place of meeting was attacked, and several men were shot as the result. Interviewed Prisoners It is alleged that the lands of the condemned men have been taken over by white farmers, who are reaping a harvest while the courts are piling up heavy sentences. Mrs. Barnett spent two weeks in Arkansas gathering first-hand information of the riot situation, and the discoveries regarding the persecution of the prisoners.

Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 27.—Wildeyed and frotting at the mouth, James Tolliver wrought haze in the Hale infirmary last Saturday morning, biting two nurses, and tearing up the ward before he was shot down by policemen, sent there to act as guards. Hydrophobia was the cause of the man's dementia, and he had been suffering from the disease for several days. He had been guarded for the past 24 hours by a policeman, and it was this officer who shot Tolliver, but not until he had bitten the two nurses.

Under ordinary rules of the bank this principle would apply, but the directors have withdrawn this ruling for the benefit of depositors who were led "astray" by false reports.

Ellis, chief of the Chicago division of the state bank examiners, in New York city on a visit, wired the following telegram to Pres. Geo. F.

The Louisville governor did not endorse other things said: "It is to the overlasting credit of the officers of the law that the mob was disappointed and the false names of Kentucky Indicated. The governor said: "The truth is the mob was committing an assault upon the government, the troops were protecting law, the prisoner had himself condemned and condemned the crime.

Ragged and discriminated against along every line imaginable, but it has remained for the proprietors of the Casaurgueses of this place to pull the big, beautiful ones out of them all. This firm is now refusing to sell our trees. Can you beat it?

ABBOTT Cincinnati—Good-By I left Chicago recently—the telegram calling me away said that my sister was dead and that mother was very sick, and that mother was a slave part of the South. I rode in parlor car to Cincinnati, and I noticed no one as having died of illness or fears, paid my way, tipped the porter, made the bed, and went into room—that is, I acted like a human all the way through, and, along with others riding with me, I had a bollied room—that is, I acted like a human everything was pretty. But Cincinnati proved the Waterloo of both my hopes and pride of country. I told the agent that I wanted a car and a room, but I was knocked into Knoxville was a good place to go for if I had any business that way, but he had no accommodations. So I headed to the city, saw things stagger even in heightened lands and lands of revolutions. I saw men and women using the same toilet. I rode in the conductor's "office" and saw a man with a gun, was provided with a few seats for American citizens paying 2 cents per bus. I was exactly the mileage being paid by the bus, riding on behind in state and style. At Knoxville I changed car in the dead of night as he was up in the mountains. I took another "hog train" for Knoxville. At Knoxville the spirit of the recent riot was in the eyes of the ticket agent. He gave me tickets to passengers walking for their ticket until the train on which they want to roll into the station. Then they may go to the train station. I heard a Race man sweep down in his soul. "I ought to make this guy move back from this thing," he said, counseled against that conductor of my Race catch a moving train. She was doing the best she knew how, for her ticket was not sold her until the gateman gave the word "All aboard." I was bound now for Asheville and Columbia. I changed, it seemed, every time the cheer pulled the cord, and every time the cord I answered with "illinois"—plenty music between the cord and my tune. As knovville asked for a sleeper, I asked for the "hog train"—although the porter said that in a sixteen section car only five passengers had berths. Well, I said, nobody back there must be comfortable. White men strode through the coach on which I rode at will. They talked on the train, and I watched which the braggart is klang; smoked cigarettes and cured our men and women as if we were "strangers in a valley," which the braggart was like, were so much prey for the lustful souls of a lustful land. Asheville—and again I changed. On the mountains I had ridden from knovville, and now down the valleys to Columbia—on the kingdom of the murderous Tillman clan. Moth-like mountains, up the hill up the seats, and young women of education, that modesty still still claim a name merely winked at sleep all through a long and wicked night. The horse took up space for four passengers in a car that would hold but twenty. I singing in the Bible. One told me that that was disgraceful enough, but the shame of the ill-kneed place was the religious atmosphere of it. The hypocrites had taken the weary travelers that ever here the Lord must be expected at any minute. It has always been thus—to make a wretch peaceable and docile, to make carthly woe on heavenly promise. Two full days and two full nights I spent on the "hog train." I slept when I went to school, when I could snatch a bite from food venders and station "restaurants." I saw long women, fresh from colleges, with teeth and play with hatings. Shimmy out of the door, the women will walk out of the "hog train." Have you ever examined carefully the "College waiting room?" It is a room with tables and chairs as a looking glass for the Race—they must always see themselves as they really are in the grand schema of starchy and cotton-forksen, deigned, the refuse of American civilization. The seats are different. The toilets for men and women are built side by side, so that the men and women must sit. That robots out our men of respect and our women of respect. The thing is no design of the architect, but the plan of the oligarchy determined to win from Time, what was lost "Equal but separate accommodation" is the word used, in telling of separate cars in the South. That is lying sweetly. If there had been any idea of the race, the women have no separation on the train, and neither that the white South is a hardy hypocrite, if there was anything at all to its pretensions against darker榨汁s the "white" South ride without a murmur with them in the free North? The "hog train" invites trouble. It was built to do that. The conductor called the "white car to the 'cow' car. His address is changed; his language is made up for his new situation, and he is given the rules laid down for southern conductors to do murder. There the Race sits at his mercy, the men less shady, the women in khastly, whispering, trembling. The "butch" takes up as much room as he needs at the front end of the car, and he has nature, has his spot, the skimming his legs over two seats, and then on back farther in the "office," that is how Elihu Root a government operates a train for one element in its population—the element that resisted Lee and has never thrown a bomb! Ain't This Lovely? The train usually carries two sleeping car, two coaches for "white passenger," smoker for "white man," one-theater for and one-theater for a sleeper, coach and smoker for the Race. We ride way up in frout, next to the baggage car, for the baggage agent has some place to come half naked and get a cup of water and eat his lunch. And hero comes "Mitch" Palmer, lawyer for the "Democratic party," with a delegation to the Rapo Legislature simply because the Raco press is against both "Mitch" Palmer, his boss, Woodrow Wilson, and the Democratic party, which is a curse of the United States, and the "hog train." We ride the "hog train" now, but when November rolls around both Woodrow W. will take the politician and the Republican stand with law and order, the Republican party and the Constitution. That path leads to peace and honor, the train crowd has wounded the crowder, and the easy, a very short, step from putting the Race in a "hog train" in Dixie to putting the white North on the "hog at Washington. This has been done. Back to this curse of a nation. It was said at the Lincoln League convention. How Can the Race Get the New York City Car is Eating Away the Heart of the Nation?" We have an answer to the question, but we know that the heart of the nation is being eaten away and the race of the Race is at the jumping-off point. One toilet for one people, when everybody else has two, no tickets for the toilet, no tickets for the car, no tickets; no sleeping car for everyone of an American, when everybody else, American and formlor, can get a whole sleeping car; not to eat for everyone of an American, not to eat fat of the land is provided for everybody else; our woman outraged, when every other woman is protected; concerned and trying to be gentlemen with others—this may last, but I do not believe it. The "hog train" is almost on its last journey, else it is the "hog train" for the free and the free on the brave.

One small toilet room had to suffice for both men and women; no one else could equally as dutifulaste. If there is nothing that at present can be done to abolish the Jim Crow system of transportation, it is not possible to give service equal to the others. The group with which you are identified. Will you kindly take this matter up immediately with the powers that be, in this condition may be remedied? For you to know the number of the car I rode in was $375 and the letters over the car door read C. O. & T. S. With the personal regards, believe me, very truly. Two Great Leaders to Address Republican Meet Jackson, Miss. Feb. 27—The Mississippi Republican convention will convene here April 1 and will select presidents of the well known republican leader, states that Major John R. Lynch, retired, now living in Chicago, will deliver a former congressman from Mississippi and republican leader here for years Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, a former Mississippiian, now of Louisville, KY, will speak. Rev. E. A. Crockett Advancing Rev. E. A. Crockett, D. D., pastor of this city and corresponding executive secretary of the Baptist state convention of Illinois, is one of the most powerful of your orators of today. Almost all of his work has made himself felt among the leading ministers of the Race. He eavesdrags hearsors at will, and in a most pleasing and masterly manner he delivered a speech on the church, Chicago, on Wednesday evening, Feb. 11. He pleaded for co-operation of the Baptist family of Illinois with the President, Dr. L. K. Williams, a prominent officer, to make this state convention the greatest in America. Rev. Crockett has a great vision of his denomination in getting the Baptist family to the cause as he does and follow their great leader. It will only be a short time before this great vision of which Emory church realizes that in securing the services of such an influential minister it will have wonderful progress. But it is a strong gospel preacher, but an idiot. Being born, reared and educated in the South, he is naturally acquainted with the conditions of that section of the country and the condition which the Racus had to exist. HELD FOR BROTHER'S MURDER Fort Smith, Ark. Feb. 27.—Following his murder of his brother, William, he was held by police known as one of the "bad men" in this community, was ledged in the county jail, and in making statements to officers Johnson killed his brother because of threats he had made upon his life, and asserted that he was the man of the shooting had opened; targeted him with the intention of "getting him." Mies Edna Newman Dies New Orleans, La., Feb. 27—Miss Edna M. Newman, age 20, died Wednesday evening. Feb. 18, at her home, after a long illness. Influenza for two weeks. Funeral services were held in Yazoo, Miss., the native home of the deceased. She was a mother, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Clalborne Newman, and a host of friends. O. N. G. EMPLOYE EXPIRES Toledo, Ohio. Feb. 27.—For twelve years Bob Page accompanied Ohio National Guardmen to their summer internships, to attend their needs as an employee of the internship mentorship. Fargo was $2 years old and a well-known character among the guardmen, and being fat and round, was quite a favorite. Recently he deferred internship to the camp armpiece where he lived, and he is a short illness, died at Mercy hospital. HE CHICAGO DEFENDER LINCOLN LEAGUE A DECIDED SUCCESS A Resume of the Things Said and Done at Notable Gathering By Nettie George Speedy House Goats Wild Bedlam broke loose when he declared: "The Republican party wants patriotism in peace as well as in war. We want business. I want no man to belong to this party unless that party is worthy of the man. It must be equal to the man. It must be colored." On Lincoln's birthday Mayor William Hale Thompson and Maj. Gen. Wade won the principal speakers. Ald. Harris the mayor was escorted to the platform. Col. Simmons Introduces Mayor Hundreds of hands were applauding the appearance of the mayor when Col. Hale Thompson and Maj. Gen. Wade declared: "This man was born in the cradle of righteousness. He is the only man in America who represents the people." It isn't written in the books, Mr. Mayor, that you can't step from the city hall to Washington. "The mayor spellbound when Mayor Thompson asked: 'What is the most important thing of the hour?' Uphold the contract of the mayor. We have a great bond between us that we both uphold the constitution. All you ask is a square deal, all I ask is a square deal to say since then. I want you to pay me a power guide my party properly. The Democrats destroyed themselves, and nearly destroyed the nation, so we must choose the Republican platform." Mai, Gen. Wood Speaks It drew thunderous applause when Col. Simmons, in introducing M.J. Gen. Leonard Wood, the ranking general of the army, admonished, "Remember, sailing the seas the best I can; don't desert me." Gen. Wood had only a few minutes between trains, but he was able to sail with the law and order. No group of people has more interest in law and order than you. You must be protected from the law, you must guarantee you that protection when you by the constitution of the United States. Let no one tempt you into acts of indiscretion. Stand always in the law, always stands about you. He also paid tribute to the Colored soldiers from the days of his association with the 10th cavalry to the recent world William Houston Scores When Attorney William C. Housen of Kansas City, Mo., was called upon to respond to these gentlemen, and as he fell from his skis, we knew Col. Simmons had chosen well, for the man whose origin was begotten in the land of the sun, to have done full homage to his trust. At its conclusion pandemonium reigned. A number of addresses were made by the actors representing the various sisters. Other Notables Speak Preminent Women Present Some of our prominent women present were Mme. J.

Johnson of New York, member of the league, added no little dignity to the league. His address, the closing feature, was a call to arms. Everybody who reads wanted to know where Editor Robert S. Abbott was during the sessions. No one worked harder than Editor Abbott to attend the meeting, and the regret was general that he was unable to take part. Most everybody thought that James N. Shelton and Edward Gallard of Indianapolis would sing their duet, "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away," when they rose to lead the cheers for Chairman Hayes. Scott Bond of Arkansas, merchant and philanthropist, took the floor at will and surrendered it at pleasure. The leading woman delegate was Mrs. Leila Flemings of Cloverland, who was the first woman to represent Thomas W. Fleming, and demonstrated that while she may be a politician she is also a delightful representative of what we call the "gentler sex." It was his first convention, but "Little Joe" Settle of Memphis was an popular as a veteran and as useful as a whole delegation. Charles A. Cottrell, the Ohio leader, and while he had never ridden in one he had everybody riding against it before he had concluded. Joe Watson of Georgia proved to be everything Lank Johnson claims for him as a man of great courage and deep conviction. It takes a man to be a leader, and when he had everybody, "and," he added, "my address is Main street, Albany, Ga." Ald. Harris of New York, chairman of the credentials committee, made the kind of impression that Harvard made in an odor altogether away to make on a body of intelligent men. The chairman put Ed Wright of Chicago on a high pinnacle as new and then, but he had to work fearfully hard to keep the brilliant lawyer in that place. The only man in Chicago who had any idea of how big the convention would be was Charles B. Travis chairing the league in on arrangements. The league is indebted to that man. That was an elegant debate on cutting down representation of the votescaling states. Edward Wright opened it, and then he was met by the argument that it fight meddied at anybody who would speak one word against "that boy," as he put it. Dr. Barrow closed the first session with a "rouser." From the Old Dominion came Dr. D. A. Ferruson, the only hope the Virginia can claim in the world of politics. Chairman Hays said before he got to the big burry to leave, but he so much at home in that atmosphere that he remained till the latest minute he could make his life better. He got the greatest friend that was man and made himself a hero with 13,000,000 people. He doesn't know it the Standing Choice of Colored Republicans for any job he thinks he can get.

For Further Information Address giving the boys the "tone over," proceeded to O. K. the future of the Race. W. C. Houston of Kansas City spoke the heart of his people in grand style his reply to the address of Mayor Wm. Houston, showing the car of the first blade. The audience arose to receive Robert B. Church, childman of the executive committee of the city, and end to none, because, and only because, of his worth. If "work makes the man," then count "Bob" the pride of the league, a man of the fullest stature. Texas came up just like the Lone Sage of the league, a man of the greatest step, to the front at one of the sessions. At the big meeting Thursday night the president called for this leader a dozen times, but to no avail. Wm. Warley, editor of the Louisville News, told he is the very man to whip a segregation law until it couldn't sit down. Ald. Louis B. Anderson, president of the Illinois branch of the organization, a correct host to every delegate, and was a heavy support to the organization. President Simmons demonstrated that common sense is in more than parallaxary law when he put through Nutter resolution resolving Mr. Harris to impose the objection by Henderson of Indiana. The silly tongue, the slanderous hawk, the hand of Islam, the "barber shop chord," struck in a grand chorus—none of these things had a face at the Lincoln League. Ask Ralph W.

On the night of July 23 last week, the race riot was in progress an automobile containing white riders with shooting promsciously into buildings. John Dixon, who lived with his family, was at East 35 street, very near State Street, the opening a polite officer was shot in front of Dixon's home. Witnesses in the shot which hit the officer came from the street. Dixon denoted this latter shooting. His home was searched and two officers were taken. Dixon and his wife were placed in arrest and charged with rotting. Judge Hugh E. Stewart at the Harrison County court and continued him to serve a term of six months in the house of rotting and continued him to serve Dixon's appeal and bond. He immediately began to serve his sentence. Released on Bond Mr. Dixon's father, John Dixon, Sr. reputable business man of Clarkville engaged to honor Wm. J.

WM. WHITE. General Manager WE FAVOR CONGBESSMEN WE FAVOR CONGRESSMEN The New York office of the Chicago Defender, after due deliberation, goes on record as strongly favoring the runoff of the Republican ticket for congressman in the congressional district. We believe that, given the full support of the Republican can win in this district in the coming election. We say this in spite of the fact that the district is nominally Democratic—has been for the past six years—that the fact that the present Democratic representative, Jerome F. Donavan, is said to have a good record. The Democrat insurmountable barrier to nearly every candidate of that party this year. Hence, given a good, clean man who insurmountable barrier to nearly every ways provided the Republican party itself lines up genuinely for him), we believe he can win. Regardless of any man's past record, it is obvious that we represent our congressman in congress. This office has always opposed segregation even when self-inflicted; but the time has come. We know of no better time to start than now. The movement that has been gone—on of congressional and local levels—is a good one, and we indulge it. Its prime movers, even though they fail in their efforts, are deserving of great effort, and they are at least attempting to do something for the advancement of the Race.

The appointment came as a surprise to those who have not been acquainted to expect actually tangible results from the congressman from this district, and the fact the Citizens' Library is so large that it scares the scalp and want to see a Negro represent this overwhelmingly Negro district is believed by those best advised to have influenced such an appointment at this time in the hope of making a break in the solid ranks of the Negro community and to the detriment of any Negro opponent which the voters may choose. Those by plays for favor are expected; more of them will follow, but they are being made too late to gain their objection. The leaders are striking out for big game and nothing short of this will do.

BARNETT IN ARK. Visits Twelve Man Awaiting Death in Electric Chair Editor Defender: I have just returned from a two weeks' trip to Arkansas, where I got inside facts about those twelve men who were sentenced in eight minutes to die in the electric chair in Helenia, November 15, 2006, when responded to appeal for a fund to help these men will be glad to know I got all the inside facts of the trouble first hand. I spent most of Sunday two weeks ago in the penitentiary with these men in Little Rock, Arkansas, with their wives and friends and are living in hope of regaining their liberty. They bade me thank Chicago people and the Defender for starting the movement to help them, and to thank all the people throughout the country with their wives and friends. The people of Arkansas have organized to help raise money for their defense in the Supreme Court. There was some disagreement among the members of the committee when I left over disposition of funds received, but the majority of the intelligent and responsible to the community not to get together and straighten out their differences for the sake of those condemned men and the Race, which trusts them to honestly account for every dollar they receive. The condemned men have been granted a stay of execution and their cases are being prepared for the Arkansas Supreme Court by the attorneys engaged, Messrs Murphy and Melhayney and S. A. Jones, the attorneys for the white lawyers in the state and S. A. Jones holds a similar position among the Colored lawyers. Mr. Jones pleasant offices in the Mosaic Temple building, being the lawyer for that powerful organization. He was extremely kind and courteous in assisting to obtain the information sought. As the legal end of matters are now in such satisfactory hands, it now remains to educate public sentiment by publishing the inside facts of this whole story. It will cost upward of $1 million to hold a lecture that calculate the true facts of that Elkhorn river, in which 12 Negroes were condemned to die in the electric chair; 75 are now serving sentences of 21 years on the prison farm, and hundreds of Negroes, including the Johnson boya, were sent to the prison. The neuro side of story has not been published before. I spent two weeks in Arkansas getting the facts and was able to do so by the friends who contributed to the fund at my request, for which I will be a campaign to raise the necessary money in Bethel Church Tuesday night of next week. Meanwhile every club, society church and individual who contributed before should feel so proud of what has been done that they should send in another donation to get those facts published. These who contributed are not a drop in the bucket compared to the many who did not do so, yet this fight for freedom is far more important fight for the freedom of speech and act of every Negro in this country, and every one of the twelve million Negroes ought to help them. The Negro who ought to help help to help do so, deserve the freedom he or she enjoys. I truly believe when these facts are laid before the world it will so open the mind of the Negro to public sympathy for these men that the whole country will say let those men so free!

DUDLEY POPULA Beginn In the Great Musical Co THE "HER ELEPHANT MAN" John Ringling, the famous circus proprietor with whose big show Mrs. Pearl Doles Bell traveled for many weeks to acquire material for her novel, "Her Eleanor," pictured by William Fox with Miss Shirley Mason as star-says: "It seems that circus stories are always popular. But it is not always the case that the circus spirit and the real fascination that we believe exists among people of the ring—the companionship, the spirit of comradeship, the customs and the life, so far apart from other people yet, when known and liked and loved, the same folks as those who make up the rest of the world. "This way," he said, "the circus people I am sure is more truthfully and realistically described by Pearl Doles Bell in her splendid story, "Her Elephant Man," than in any other story I know of. She knows circus people and she has made them human, loving and loved, and has given the atmosphere about them a warm that draws all nearer to them." Charles Ringling, famous brother of the famous John, says: "Circus people like to be understood. They are human, with all the weaknesses and attributes of other folks. That is one reason why they like to be understood. In 'Her Elephant Man' the authoress, Pair Dolles Bell, shows people and has told love story of friend and charm. It will please circus people because it does not hold them up for ridicule, but instead deplores them as they really are—loyal, loving, living in a world of their own yet greatly interested in all the world about them. This circus person lived with the circus and caught the atmosphere, which she has doftly put into a fine story." "Her Elephant Man" is coming to the States Theater on Sunday. "LAST OF THE DUANES" William Farnum scores again, big, when he appears on the screen Friday and Saturday on the screen at the States Theater in "The Last of the Duanes" in the picture of the novel by Zane Grey. This William Fox production is the best Western picture a strong sympathetic love story running throughout the drama. Mr. Farnum's impersonation of Buck Duane is peculiarly vivid. It is difficult to realize that any man can escape serious injury in the film. In addition to the star has to do in this picture. Briefly, the story tells of Buck Duane, who to save his own life has to kill a man who threatened him—after which he faces from civilization and gets in with outlaws. He rescues a girl from a bandit chief and after she is recaptured from him she again escapes and reaches his mother's home. While he is evading the officers his girl bonds with the energy to free him from the stigma of cruel and eventually Buck Duane, the outlaw, becomes Buck Duane, the Texas Ranger, and cleans up the worst of the border gangs.

J. —OUR AIM— A FIRST CLASS THEATER WITH A FIRST CLASS COLORED COMPANY IN EVERY CITY "THE COPPERHEAD" Lionel Barrymore in a striking screen version of "The Copperhead," the play in which he scores the least success on the stage, will be the attraction at the Vendome Theater for four days commencing Wednesday next. The picture is said to have been made on an unusually large scale and to follow closely Augustus Thomas' action. The locale is Millville, IL, and the action takes place during three periods—that of the Mexican War, just before the Civil War, in 1862, and in 1904. Mr. Barrymore appears as the hero, Milt Shanks, who in his accomplishment of a most dangerous and important President Lincoln is obliged to pose as a treasoner to country, is disowned by his own friends and family, and is vindicated only upon his death bed. The story is one of intense dramatic appeal. A whole village was constructed by the backyard player Lasky Corporation as the backyard theater, and no efforts were spared to make "The Copperhead" a really big photopage. William P. Garleton, Doris Rankin, and Richard Carlyle are included in large format. The picture, which is a Paramount Artcraft, was directed by Charles Malogna. LONG RUN The four weeks' run of Montgomery & McLain's "Hello 1919" at the Grand Theater, will come to an end at the bash of next-week. In other words, the following March 1 will offer the last opportunity to see the great musical comedy which has been practically a sensation over since its performance. It has had remarkable success and is easily the best show of its kind in the business. The fact that this offering played some of its best shows here is a real recommendation in these days of high grade musical comedy. It is real production and it carries so many pores and original features that it will have be seen to be appreciated. There is a major that the same company will be seen to another of their big offerings after the "Hello 1919". Keep your eyes open for the information, which will be spread through the medium of these columns. ENGAGEMENT EXTRAORDINARY ROUGE AND RICHES Universal stars Mary MacLaren in this five-reel feature, directed by Harry L. Franklin. It is an old story and apparently very little effort has been made to give it any new twists, which might have helped hold the attention through the five long reels. Miss MacLaren takes the part of Becky Butler, the daughter of Southern parents, both dead. The picture opens with the star living with her. Their income is $300 a year, so Becky decides to come to New York to join the chorus of a Broadway show and sell herself to the first millionaire who comes along. Marriage is included in her price. Obligary to tradition, instead of walking to streets New York in a half-starving situation, she joins into a job the very day she lands. From then on Becky has many adventures, finally clinching with the assistant stage manager and throwing the million dollar John in the discard. Geography is good and there are lots of interesting teriors are handsome and the close-ups many, but not always timely. Minor details of direction have been overlooked. The subordinate roles are well handled. Rouge and Riches comes to the Owl Theater on Sunday. OLD KENTUCKY PICTURE The following letter arrived from Ted Morton, whose band is with the road show, "Old Kentucky," feature picture: Loan Perry and Winslow Allen, cor-员 Harry Morton, baritone; Arty Watkins, trombone; Thomas O'Brien, saxophone; Ted Morton, tuba; George Fitzpatrick, drums.

EASTERN SPORT WORLD From the way things are shaping up there is a splendid opportunity for the Walker boxing bill being passed in the Senate, which he introduced beats. Senator James J. Walker, the sponsor of the bill and Democratic leader of the senate, announced at the hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 12, that he would add additional measure under which boxing bouts may be permitted in state courts, Anthony J. Dresden Biddle of the army, and board of boxing control, who is in favor of the bill to re-establish legalized boxing speaking before the senate judge. "It was the spirit of boxing that won the world war." Most everything about the bill is fine from our point of view, but supervise the contests with a board to license boxing clubs, the boxers and officials connected with the oncounters, to supervise the contests with a board guarding our Race boxers. Unless it calls for mixed bouts, New York state may as well not have boxing. A demonstration made plain recently when several bouts were staged at the 15th regiment armory in Harlem. All but one bout was staged such a thing, with boxer Isaac Kld, Panama Joe Gans, Leo Johnson, Bob Armstrong and several others in boxing, looking on at a lot of novices boxing. Senator Walker has made this provision his bill is a failure. However, he will go to sleep on the senator's behalf, he intends introducing, permitting the bouts in state armories, which would be relieved the situation, such as was staged at the 15th regiment armory.

A PLEA FOR OUR GIRLS By Irone McCoy-Gainca Probably one of the most absorbing questions that confront the Negro to overcome is whether he is a soldier, discussed, and given such little encouragement that we are all forced to agree that he is a soldier. He is a rather neglected group of American citizens. The challenge which she offers to the thinking people of her day is to find a way to help the potential mother of a Races. It is true that the Colored girl has some special characteristics that very defied her. She was a daughter of the city. It is also true that one may say with assurance that the Colored girl is a product of Amer- Our Girls Neglected The great American community finds it necessary to give all manner of encouragement to the girlhood of the white race, the is given the opportunity to be included in all the trades, crafts, arts and professions: all schools and doritories open their doors to the community gives her adequate recreational centers where she may profitably spend her time in cozy clubrooms, well equipped gymnasiums, swimming pools, etc. If it is necessary to give white girlhood these advantagea to make her the sweet and lovely creature that America wants to encourage, it is necessary for the physical, mental and soul development of the Colored girl. Employment Is Menial The Colored girl is almost without employment, except of the most mental disabilities. I am a public opinion than from the law. During my work as examiner in the United States Department of Labor, I was not required to meet that Colored girls should not take other employment than housework. All Colored girls are not entitled to, nor desire to do housework any more than 10 hours a day, or desire to become school teachers. Recreational Facilities Poor One may find in the territory known as "the black belt" over ten thousand countries that there are international facilities. The community does not afford a single swimming pool, or gymnasium where she may spend her summer holidays. The camp community service a great hope was born in the heart of the Colored girl. In this service she saw the greatness of her country and her by the nation since the emancipation. With her the hope is abiding that community service will bring him much of things about which she has dreamed. A Community Problem As the Colored girl lives, plays, works, dreams, thinks and acts, so she can rise above her standards. The Colored girl present and future is a community problem, and it is wisdom to raise her. She is a community on their hearts to add their efforts to those who are giving time and thought to her. It will mean much to her to be able to work with sympathy, cagerness and longing it seeks to become acquainted with her. She has to give the community, and what the community may owe to her.

In the study of anatomy of the skin you will find that the bladder accumulates, forming cheesy proper action, and that the linking cells, instead of undergoing liquid transformation, accumulate, forming cheesy blackheads; these, from their size, cannot escape without aid, and if left in situ are not only a distress, but a painful pustule.

CURED HER FITS With a Blessing ```markdown ``` our Skin Needs Different Kinds of Care at Different Times It will be a revelation to you to see how lovely your skin can actually be! MME. C. J. WALKER'S Cleansing Cream, Cold Cream, Vanishing Cream, Witch Hazel Jelly and Superfine Face Powder Made Good in One Year "TRUTH SPREADS BY TESTIMONY" --- DO you respect the individuality of your own skin? So many people forget that their skins have as much character, as much temperament, as they have themselves. YOUR skin is not a piece of fabric, that can always be cared for in the same way. It is a living thing which has different needs at different times. IN cold weather, for example, your complexion is quite unlike its usual self. The exquisite satin texture which it has in the summer, in winter is often lost. It is the irritating action of the cold, combined with the withering effect of dry furnace heat that robs it of its oil and makes it harsh and dry. IN winter you must give your skin a special kind of care to counteract these influences. Before you go out, rub a tiny bit of Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream into your skin. It disappears instantly, leaving your face soft and smooth. There is no oil in Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream, so if never reappears in a wretched, greasy shine—it gives your skin the protection it needs from chapping and roughening. THEN about powdering—just because when the weather is warm and your skin is moist you can get the powder to go on smoothly and stick on for a while, do not expect it to stay on in winter without POWDER BASE. Your skin offers a very different surface to the powder then. BEFORE you powder, rub a tiny bit of Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream into your face. Instantly it will disappear, leaving the skin softened. Now see how smoothly Mme. Walker's Superfine Powder goes on, how natural it looks. It will stay on two or three times as long as ever before. Because it is without oil, Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream can never reappear in a shine. HAVE you ever stared in the glass and wondered miserably what gave your skin that dull, lifeless look? VERY, very often a dull skin is only one that is improperly cleansed. At night before retiring is the occasion when your skin should have a special kind of cleansing. Only with a good oil cream can the dust that has been working into the pores all day be removed. Before retiring give your face a thorough cleansing with Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream. The first time you do this you will be mortified and delighted at the amount of dust that comes out. No other bleach can be used as Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream, so it is the best adapted to clearing up clogged pores and brightening the complexion. WATCH out for the times when your face looks lined and your SKIN lacking in vitality. These are the times you need massage. Mme. Walker's Cold Cream is made exactly the consistency to work well into the pores and give a perfect massage. Your skin needs two creams, one with and one without an oil base FOR a powder base, for preventing chapping, or for a quick freshening up, you cannot use a cream which contains an oil. You need Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream for use in the day or evening. It contains no oil and never reappears in a wretched, greasy shine. FOR cleansing and for massage your skin needs Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream or Cold Cream. Either has just enough oil to enable it to get well into the pores and to remove the dust and dirt lodged deep in them, and just enough body to make it perfect for massage. None of these creams fosters the growth or hair or down. Get a jar of each cream today of any Mme. C. J. Walker agent, or at any dealer's. With these creams you can give your skin the different kinds of care it needs at different times. THE LINEUP IN PART!

When she discovers that she is nursing a little life she becomes terrified and beseeches Dr. Freeman to help her by preventing it coming into the world, but in vain. Undismayed with her failure she consults other physicians with the same result. Then she herself tries to destroy the l've of her unborn, but without avail.

A three act dram the present week's fayette Players at it is founded upon the actual facts of medical science, and while startling in theme, is frank, acquaints the public with a truth which is so often hidden behind the sham of false modesty. The story deals with a couple—the Hartmans—Katherine and Jefferson—her school, her school days has been engaged to Dr. Freeman, the family physician, W. Jen she murred Jeff Hartman, the doctor, was grieved, but continues to proffer his friend A. B. --- he had died in an asylum if she was addicted to drink, and the years of her boy's ado- he had lived constantly in And a Big feature Picture EVERY NIGHT, 7:15 AND 9:30 MATINEE SUNDAYS "HELLO 1919" The inner side of every cloud is bright and shining; I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out To show the lining. the fear that he might become an epileptic, of the dread that some day he would be filled with the lust to kill, because of her desire to destroy him while he was still unborn. In the conclusion of the drama her horror becomes a reality for the boy, Lennox, the curse of epilepsy finally fastening itself upon him, is transformed into a demon seized with the desire to kill. Loving his fance, Ruth Freeman, the curse of epilepsy then turns the gun upon himself, before the horrified eyes of his family and Ruth's uncle. Thus Mrs. Hartman is made to realize that heredity is a dangerous thing with which to trifle. Carlotta Freeman has the part of Mrs. Hartman, and gives the characterization all that an artist of her fine ability might be expected to give; there are places wherein she is called upon to display a world of emotion. Charles Olden, as the son, is remarkable in the difficult part. In the scene where he denounces his mother for bringing him into the world and in which he is seized with a desire to kill her, the young actor has what many will say his "best chance" since coming under local observation. Olden has splendid ability and shows it when he cares. An actress famous has another chance in the drama and lives with his usual ability. As the doctor, Clarence Muse stands out; he is always effective and this character fits him to a "T." Evelyn Ellis, as the sweetheart, plays right up to her usual high standard as does also Inez Clough, as the mother of Mrs. Hartman. It is a play worth going a long way to see. THE GRAND This, the third big week of the Montgomery & McClain "Hello 1919" production, and it is still drawing great houses at every performance, with all indications pointing to a continuation of the same condition during its final week, which starts next Monday. Everything that goes to make success for a production of this kind has been applied and there is no wonder that the press notices which preceded the company's coming were of a sort that looked like "original" stuff. Which goes to show that you cannot always sometimes tell. There are so many fine features in the show that it would require a world of space to enumerate. One-Person" show, either, for Frank McClain's liker in the idea of allowing everyone who can deliver to strut his or her stuff and the manner in which the plan is getting results during this engagement shows that he is the real Brainy Bowers of the present time. Remember, next week is the final one for "Hello 1919." THE MONOGRAM Another fine bill is being offered here this week. Among the acts is the first time around for the team of Dude and Georgia Kelly; the act is a good one, one of the best on the "time" and the work of both performers gets a world of mitt. Dude always was a favorite here and Miss Kelly is too well known to need much comment. May Kemp, doing her nifty single, is also with, with a novelty that stands way out for more reasons than one. Tim & Gertie Moore, playing this house for the 'seventh time, are just as popular as ever. Monogram audiences never tire of this team and the door matt always says welcome.

The patrons of the States Theater will have a chance to see the most peculiarly interesting and at the same time sensational picture of late years, when the great feature, "Do the Dead Talk," comes to that popular house for a four days' run, beginning on Wednesday of next week. March 4 to 5th This picture is now enjoying a great five weeks' run at one of the loop theaters, and the crowds are of record-breaking dimensions. Here is one paragraph from the original scenario: "Galveston is being destroyed by a tidal wave. The storm-furred waters are seen tearing at the city's heart, while frantic men struggle vainly to stem the onrushing tide. The Carlton door is crumbling. In cards, Dorothy sits up, terror stricken, in her trundle bed, only to be buried beneath falling debris and floated away on the receding waters." The same thing happens to the girl's brother; they are separated and their parents are both victims of the flood. Years pass. The children are not aware of each other's existence, and it is here where the spirit of the dead mother enters the story and the plot leading up to the title really begins. In the interim and throughout the picture the machinations of the fake spiritualists are exposed and the whole presentation is one that will rankle in your mind for a long time after a reviewing of the seven great reels. Don't fail to see it. sence, have a fine new line of activities to offer and hold their end of the entertainment well, making the program one of the best seen here for some time. HELD OVER Detroit, Mich, Feb. 27.—Billy King's Players, headed by dashing Gertrude Saunders, are petite Theressa Brooks, who is surrounded by twelve real artists, and who are playing a week's engagement at the Vandette Theater here, have been held over for the second week, starting the final on Monday, March 1. It is one of the best and most capable aggregations ever seen here and their offering, called "The Record Breakers," is a knockout from start to finish. In the line-up are some of the most popular people in the show business; the girls are pretty, the principals are competent, the songs are new and catchy, the comedians are funny, the comedy clean and wholesome, and the wardrobe right up to the minute. Boutte & Carter, comedians with the Round the Town Co., are doing their stuff this week at the Plaza Theater, Springfield, Mass.

And we hope that it will not cause any difference in the size of the young lady's hat or an inflation abnormal of the young lady's chist—and we know that we will get our hope. For with her other qualities, Miss Howell sure is modest. She realizes that hard work and continuous effort is the keynote to success in the show business. She knows that the world was never made in a minute and that today she is almost as far from the pinnacle of an established success as she was before she started. That's one reason why her whole heart seems to be wrapped up in a minute today is the higher step of delivering the goods" for the applause today and things the worthy just that much closer to the coveted goal. Guess the Old Rob Top Man ain't going some." Yee Be. Her History Grayce E. Howell was born in New York City on April 14, 1920. She graduated from Wadleigh High School, same village. in 1913 and did her first bit in the show business in 1915, showing that she started early to avoid the rush—in a manner of speaking—donchkernow. She was tutored by J. Leubrie Hill, being a member of the Darktown Folies; then followed connections with the Dancing Imps, Irwin Miller's Stock Co., Sandy Burns Co., Laverty Players, Luke Scott's Dramatic Show, Stock Co., and finally, The Smart Set—biggest and brightest of road musical shows. That's stopping, some for lady such few years. She reminds those who remember her well, of Marion Smart, one time was considered the "leader of them all"; she has a good voice, is a dancer of merit, can handle lines like an old timer and is so full of pep that the front rows, at all engagements, are sold out six and eight weeks ahead of opening and closing nights. To show that Miss Howell is also very wise for her years we will state that she always reads the Defender every week. HOME OF REAL ENTERTAINMENT STATE STREET AT 31T PHONE: 500-500-500 "THE OTHER WOMAN" Many stories have been written about the eternal triangle of love which threatens to shatter, and most often does, the marital happiness of many men and women, but it was left for Frederick Arnold Kummer, the man who wrote "The Brute," to give to the public a pleasing play woven about this old, old story which has a climax which, to say the least, is distinctly novel. It comes to the Avenue Theater next week. According to the law of playrights and moulders of the short story, which is as strict to form as that of the Medes and the Persians, whenever the eternal triangle is involved, it is usually called a husband who is ennared by some Siren who wrongs the wife in the case, squaring the husband's love. It is usually profitable to paint "the woman in the case" in as black a style as possible. Never is she allowed to be just as good as the wife in the question; her character must never be reputable; her intentions toward the erring husband must be always evil. But in Mr. Kummer's play, "The Other Woman," Eleanor Gates, who is the third angle in the triangle of the love affair of James and May Harrington, is a good woman, with a character just as free from blemish as that of the wife, and with a love for Jim Harrington, the man in the case, and incidentally the husband of Mrs. Harrington, which is pure and noble. The love ship of the Harringtons is about to founder in the sea of matrimony and the early destruction of their marital hopes seems imminent. The husband falls in love with Eleanor Gates, a widow and an artist, and begins slowly but surely to drift away from his wife. Between the Man and "The Other Woman" real bonds of love are forged until they arrive at a point where the issue of divorce must be faced fairly and squarely. The wife loves her husband and wants to, win back his dead love. To do this she resolves to present him with a portrait of their little dead boy on the anniversary of his birth. Through a trick of Fate she comes to Eleanor's studio DIRECT FROM LONG AND SUGGES RUNS IN THE EAST IN Assisted by Watch for Big Chae Announcemen es, Olivia Zeletta, cam and many others REAL ENTERTAINMENT TREET AT 31T THE DOUGLAS 500 and engages her to do the w/neither woman knows the ident of the other. When that knowle does come to each a few hours, that same night a real battle oids and hearts usues for the love of man, the bushish. The entire act of the play takes place within 16 brief hours but to the principally are hours of anguish heartache shattered dreams. In the end "Other Woman" gives up her lover, at the cost of a broken heart; she retains her husband but with knowledge that he loves another, wh is the canker in the rose. Twearts are broken that one might bippy. Is that fair? You are sure to enjoy this leatling play and it will be your use the last chance to witness the worst present company of Lafayette years in Chicago for several months, see Ellis, Freeman, Clough and Tynd Mr. Olden will be seen to good intague in this play.

PAGE NINETEEN RAISING RENTS By Eugene J. Marshall There is no question about the right of the landlord to raise the rent. As a charge as much as he wants to a tenant for using it. But when the landlord attempts to raise the rent, the law demands under which he can raise it. First of all we must bear in mind that tenants—those who rent for a period of less than one year and those who rent for a period of more than one year—must for less than a year, he does not have to have a written lease, but if he must have a written lease, if landlord has a tenant who is renting from month to month, the landlord can hold a written lease to the place, his month's notice. If but a tenant is renting for a period of one year or longer and holds a written lease to the place, his thirty day's notice in writing before he can raise the rent. Moreover, the law and if there is any defect in the time, manner or form of notifying the tenant, an increase in the rent will not be charged, and if he will accept an increase in the rent SPRING BLOOD PURIFIER Pure Herbs I can relieve you if you suffer with the following complaint: Inflorescence, of manhood, catarrh. stomach pr head; rheumatism or syphilis.

When we're grouchy and cross as a bear; If the sun's on the job or the clouds hide the sky or a mighty chill The old smile that we wore has gone bye bye a while. From our lips fall no words of good cheer; Why we're sore with the world when all things have gone well Not a soul up-to-date has made clear. "EOUAL ACCOMMODATIONS" UNDER THE CONSTITUTION of the United States it is distinctly provided that no state shall make or enforce any law which will abridge the privileges and immunities of a citizen, nor deny to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. The theory upon which the federal Supreme Court has upheld and sustained the constitutionality of the "Jim Crow" car laws in states that have enacted such laws is that so far as they relate to intra-state passengers—in other words, passengers whose journey begins and ends in the same state—this provision of the constitution is not violated provided the separate accommodations for white and Colored passengers are equal in all respects. THIS JUDICIAL MANDATE is ignored and wholly disregarded, as hundreds of decent and respectable travelers of our group can testify. In numbers of instances inter-state passengers are compelled to travel for several days in filthy and insanitary coaches, where men and women are huddled together and obliged to use the same comfort facilities. They not only are unable to secure sleeping accommodations, but find great difficulty in even getting something to eat. IT WAS HOPED that when the government took charge of the railroads these disgraceful and humiliating discriminations would be done away with. Instead they have been allowed to continue and, if there is any change at all, it has been for the worse. Under the present administration we very much fear that no change for the better can be hoped for or expected. It is this question more than any other which is arousing deep interest on the part of our group in the pending presidential campaign. The Republican party must not fail to understand that to get our support the platform should be emphatic and outspoken in condemnation and denunciation of these wrongs, and the public record and utterances of the presidential candidate should be such as to justify the expectation that, if elected, these declarations will be carried into effect. THE LINCOLN LEAGUE CONVENTION OUR CITY WAS HONORED during the past week in having been selected as the place in which the first national convention of the Lincoln League was held. This league is a chartered organization composed exclusively of Congressmen. Roscoe Coulking Simmons is the president, and the silent genius who is its leader is responsible for the origination and formation of this splendid organization is Roscoe Coulking Memphis, Tennessee. These gentlemen have associated themselves with a number of committees and influential members of our group in every section of the country. THE PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION is to arouse a proper settlement in the country that will result in a removal of the grievances to which they are subject. This will cause to complain, chief among them being lynch law, Jim Crowism and/or violation of the 16th amendment to the constitution. That much good will be accomplished along these lines through and by this organization has been clearly and unmistakably demonstrated by the proceedings of the convention held here. HUNDRENS OF DELEGATES came from all parts of the country at their own expense, which is conclusive evidence of the fact that they are not only free and independent citizens, but that they are both able and willing to work for the common good. We observe that the purposes they have in contemplation. In the resolution of the attention is called to the grievances of which we contain the public will not fall to see that words were not minced, but plain and indisputable facts were forth in language that cannot be misunderstood. No threats, but demands. WHILE WE ARE LOYAL and faithful American citizens, we insist that we should no longer be denied the full exercise and enjoyment of the public rights and privileges accorded other citizens. In other words, we insist that men should not be subjected to treatment different than that of other citizens. One of the best methods will be the outcome of the declarations promulgated will be a notice to the political parties that members of our group will no longer vote for the candidate for party of sentimental reasons or from a spirit of gratitude for what has been done to us. A attitude they may take upon questions we deem to be vital and paramount. THE PLATFORM DECLARATIONS must not only be satisfactory along these lines, but the record and attitude of the candidate nominated to stand for the position must be positive and the elector's promises faithfully made will be carried out. The indications are ful and favorable from every point of view. The convention made a deep, profound and favorable impression, not only on account of what was said and the account of the dignified and orderly manner in which the affair was conducted. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE that the great mass of the American people are in the best of their play, and will not to tolerate or accuse in acts and methods to the contrary the conduct of the organization concerned. The main purpose of this organization is to take the initiative steps along these lines which we have heretofore somewhat neglected. The organization is that the organizers and promoters are accustomed and influenced by the organization to conduct good work that can come to our group. If the fact should subsequently be demonstrated it is a close and selfish corporation, brought into existence for the purpose of promoting the selfish and political ambition of a selected few, its usefulness and effectiveness in the organization can demonstrate its usefulness is to have the fact made clearly known that it is under the supervision, directive and control of the organization to grind and no selfish purposes to accomplish. If that be true, the practice will only merit, but will receive the approbation and support of a confiding public.

Both as a member of the legislature and as corporation counsel of the city of Chicago he has rendered much of the cause of the people. Mr. Ettelson has held a deep interest of the south side of the city and has manifested at all times a deep interest in our welfare.

NO GROUP OF CITIZENS are rendering more valuable service to the nation than Mr. Ettelson, and he will face their full share of the increased cost of living in rent, board, transportation and every necessary incidental item of expense. They deserve and should have an increase in salary. Why not give it to them without a wrangle? (From Chicago Tribune Monday, Feb. 16.) The Negro controls the South. The South controls the Democratic party. The Democratic party still controls the nation. The nation is conducted with regard to the limitations of the Negro in the South. Prohibition was adopted by the Southern states because it is dangerous for the Negro to drink. If he comes to some place or drink, he can come sage. South controlled itself against the liquor traffic not because the Southern adult did not want to drink, but because he could not admit it. Woman suffrage probably will be adopted, but it had to win against the South. The South is opposed to ex-mergers. South controls involves the Negro vote, which is not cast but which must always be suppressed. Extensions of suffrage are allowed to section off the Negro vote must maintain restrictions. We probably will not get universal military training because the South is more aggressive in grooming from the South say they will not put arms in the hands of the blacks. If that is their reason for opposing the South, we are not burdened upon the limitations of black people submerged below the citizenship line. We are not blaming the South. It is of no use to blame the South and it is probably unjust. The North, given the whole system of national defense dependent upon the limitations of black people submerged below the citizenship line, must fashion. But we are being ruled by Negroes to a very considerable extent and in very important matters. We are not given the same fashion. His capacity is an applied test of American legislation.

Gray PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION Under preparedness we desire to call upon the staff to be prepared to meet portion of being prepared to meet portions of various emergencies in health, in sickness, in illness, in the time of war, in the time of war, in the time of war, and when money is as plentiful as it is now. We eschew a call to the attention of our young importance of preparing to shoulder and carry forward duties and obligations of citizenship well as the ones we have. in sickness, in the power in the time of war, in the time of scarcity or money and when money is as plentiful as it is now. We easily make a call to the attention of our young people the great opportunities of preparing to shoulder and carry forward the responsibilities and obligations of citizenship as well as the privileges to be in every community, and to impress upon them the importance of being prepared financially, physically socially in the time of troubles—times of riots, of social unrest and upheaval. Financial, Physical and Social Pre- This is what we call wasting money, and at the same time punishing the stomach. Had this young man saved himself a good meal, or paid for good bath, he would have been financially better off, and he would 'have been practicing the elements of thrift.' He would have bought a home—took the money and purchased a swell $2,000 automobile. This man neglected or did not have sense enough to take out an insurance policy on his car. He would have chased his car it was stolen from him by thieves. Now this poor, silly gump is out of home and automobile—but let us trust that, notwithstanding fact he has no home, no autonomy he has no business, no wiser in consequence of his very disastrous experience. Eliminate waste, strive for financial independence and more respect for yourself, others will have more respect for you and you will be a better citizen; you will care more about your community and more respect for your community in which you live, for the reason that where people have financial interest either in reality property, industries, merchandise, stock and money, or a greater interest in whatever appertains to the welfare of that city or community, and the way to financial independence in the future is a greater aspect—buying only what you need, cutting down your desires within the limit or below your earnings. Case in point. A few days ago a man—a property owner—had been doing business with a certain bank and had an assurance in that bank. One day he went to the window and presented a check to the paying teller. The clerk refused the check the check, asking the man if he could identify that could identify him. He presented his bank book to the clerk—but the clerk replied: "You may have found that book, you will have to get some information in you before I can cash your check." The poor man was much humiliated. He tried to find some one in the city to give him the police-rep replied that "I have often seen you come in and out of this bank, but I do not know your name, do not know that your name is on the chart. The bank man introduced himself to the cashier, to the president or vice president or some of the higher officials of that bank, or the cashier. He has been so humiliated trying to get that check cashed when he had as much as three times that amount in that bank? The banker is the used depositor or customers you are asked to be your must first of all establish your identification with some one of the high officials of the bank; they re-verify your account and establish credit or ability to pay whenever paper is due.

And the men named can advance among the people and fame and principles of the Republican party other than those who are investigating committee could ever cate. Here are Republicans more interested in votes and victories than in party leaders are always mind that way. The Race may now look forward to the pronouncement by the Republican party that its ancient principles still hold true, and that the battle against slavery the fame and principles of the Republican party.
